Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2020

The 2017 Galpin Peak Pinot Noir is ruby in color and opens with aromas of sour cherry, just-ripe raspberry and cranberry along with a soft stemminess and note of just-opened pink flowers. While the Galpin Peak Pinot does deliver a softer style, the stemminess lingers longer than the fruit, stealing away some of the natural beauty of this medium-bodied wine. The oak could be better integrated and seems to stand apart from the overall expression. This wine leaves me wanting more.
